We have for review Bennett v. State, 904 So.2d 447 (Fla. 4th DCA 2005), in which the Fourth District Court of Appeal cited its decision in Richardson v.

At the time that the Fourth District Court of Appeal issued its decision in Bennett, Richardson was pending review in this Court. We have jurisdiction. See art. V, § 3(b)( 3), Fla. Const.; Jollie v.

The petition for review is granted. On the authority of our decision in State v.

Any and all pending motions and requests are hereby denied as moot.

It is so ordered.
